Isabel's Open House

Hello Family and Friends

A new poster board of photos and Thank Yous hangs by the door in
Isabel's room.

On Friday, Mum hosted a seasonal Open House for the staff of 6F to
thank them for all their care. Mum was up in her wheelchair with a
big smile as a gracious host -- as she always is.

Twenty of the staff came by to greet Mum and enjoy home-made mince-
tarts and nuts 'n bolts, oranges and chocolates. Housekeeper,
Nurses, Physiotherapists, Doctor, Respiratory Therapist, Social
Worker, Ward Manager -- they were all there. Mum's respirator was
OFF throughout the party which means she was breathing on her OWN
with help from a little extra oxygen! Carols and conversation filled
the air.

All the staff who missed the party are checking out the photos and
list of guests on the wall.

Season's Greetings to all of you!
